DeSantis demands end to ‘DC elites’ working against Americans: ‘I will give them no choice’

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis warned “DC elites” and the “weaponized” Department of Justice that under his presidency, their actions that “work against the American people” won’t be tolerated.

“The federal government and DC elites work against the American people: a weaponized Department of Justice targeting innocent Americans, skyrocketing inflation that is hurting our families, a devalued dollar, and an open border that facilitates crime and drug fatalities,” DeSantis said.

The governor said both parties are to blame.

“The days of rubber stamping multi-trillion dollar spending bills that harm the American people must end,” he said. “Congress needs to end this madness now.”

DeSantis vowed that under his presidency, he would “give them no choice.”

DeSantis frequently pushes back against claims of being a “RINO” – Republican in name only – or an “establishment” Republican.

“How many establishment Republicans would have sent illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard,” he previously said during an interview with Newsmax.

“How many establishment Republicans would have stood up against Disney,” he added.

DeSantis has been frequently critical of federal spending habits, also recently denouncing increases on interest rates.

“With the latest hike, Americans are now facing the highest interest rates in over 20 years,” DeSantis said.

“The pain Americans are feeling is a direct result of the federal government borrowing and spending trillions of dollars since March 2020,” he continued.

“Politicians stroke checks they will never have to pay while buying a home or a car has become out-of-reach for many Americans.”
